GHANA KIT
Herzogenaurach, 6th March, 2025
PUMA TAPS GHANAIAN DESIGNER JEFFERSON OSEI TO REIMAGINE THE GHANAIAN NATIONAL TEAM KIT

PUMA and Ghanaian designer Jefferson Osei (@papaghana) unveil a new campaign honoring Ghana’s National Team Jersey, coinciding with this year’s Ghanaian Independence Day.

PUMA and Osei have tapped Ghanaian painter Daniel Alum Jasper, who has created a custom print for the Ghanaian Home jersey design. Paying homage to Africa’s Gold Coast, the design is a graphic expression of traditional Ghanaian symbols known as Adinkra, which represent values like understanding, cooperation, and resilience. The jersey’s one-of-a-kind design also nods toward the African nation’s diverse tribes: Ewe, Hausa, Asante, Fante, Dagbani, and Ga. An easter egg within the jersey’s design is revealed with perspiration, as the colors of the kit begin to change, making the Adinkra symbols more pronounced as each football match progresses. 

GHANA KIT

“My goal for this kit was to connect people from all Ghanaian ethnic tribes domestically and in the diaspora, to bring back the love and unite the tribes as one. My design was heavily influenced by conversations with the players of the Black Stars, my family, the local people, and the current political climate, highlighting their desire to see a unified Ghana.”

The imaginative and playful campaign is a unique depiction of the ever-popular strategy game Counters Ball, which became a staple in Ghanaian schoolyards, where children played an improvised version of the game using bottle caps as playing tokens. 

Alongside kits for Morocco, Egypt, Ivory Coast, and Senegal, the Ghanaian National Team jerseys originally debuted in November 2024, coinciding with the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON). 

PUMA’s Ghanaian National Team jersey is available now from PUMA.com and PUMA flagship stores.

Global sports company PUMA and Manchester City are proud to unveil the Definitely City kit for the 24/25 season, co-designed by legendary musician and lifelong City fan, Noel Gallagher. Marking the 30th anniversary of Oasis' iconic album Definitely Maybe, the special-edition kit draws inspiration from the album cover that defined a generation. 

The Definitely City kit will be worn exclusively in select European fixtures, encapsulating the spirit of a Club ready to rock on the biggest stages in Europe. The design features a bold aesthetic that echoes the iconic imagery of Definitely Maybe, paying tribute to the band and the city of Manchester.

The special-edition jersey features a light straw base colour with bold blue side panels and sleeves with subtle poppy pink detailing on the cuffs and panels of the jersey. Intricate outlines of marine blue supersonic waves adorn the jersey, with PUMA paying tribute to the colour palette from the iconic album cover creating a jersey that is Definitely City.

The kit is part of the Definitely City collection, all designed in collaboration with Noel Gallagher. The full collection includes a Track Jacket and Pants, Overshirt, Bomber Jacket, Tee, Polo, Retro Jersey and Drill Top. 

The collection was shot in a living room recreated from the Definitely Maybe album cover, with Manchester City players including Kyle Walker, Jess Park, Mateo Kovačić and Ederson joining Pep Guardiola and Noel Gallagher on set. 

Speaking about his involvement in the design of the Definitely City kit, Noel Gallagher said: “I loved City before anything, I was into City before I was into music, I was into City before I knew what music was. Definitely Maybe is what set us on our way, the record lasting as long, you can’t predict that kind of thing. It’s a great working class, Mancunian record – it’s real.

“When PUMA approached us at one of the games about designing a kit it took about five seconds to agree to it. It’s the same colour palette as the cover of Definitely Maybe: it’s unique but it’s definitely striking, and I think it looks great. When you see people representing your Club, it’s important that they look good.

“Definitely Maybe has never lost its magic to me, I just think it’s an amazing snapshot of what we were about. With the anniversary, I’ve been listening to it a lot more than I would ever listen to it, it makes me smile – they were great times. It’s spawned a great football kit, it’s legacy lives on.”

Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, added: "The 24/25 Definitely City kit is not just a piece of sportswear; it's a celebration of Manchester City's ongoing journey and a tribute to a cultural phenomenon that resonates with fans around the world. We've combined cutting-edge technology with a design that honours both the Club’s heritage and the legacy of Definitely Maybe."

The special kit is available in both Authentic and Replica versions. The Authentic jersey features PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, designed to reduce weight and friction for elite-level performance, while the Replica jersey offers the same distinctive look with a more casual fit, ideal for fans. Both versions are equipped with PUMA’s dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to ensure maximum comfort.

FUEL YOUR FAST WITH THE ULTRA 5 FORMULA EDITION IN BOTH ULTIMATE AND CARBON VERSIONS

Global sports brand PUMA has today unveiled both the ULTRA 5 ULTIMATE and the ULTRA 5 CARBON Formula Pack editions. Both versions of the ULTRA 5 will take to the pitch during the knockout stages of the European Championships and the Copa America as select players switch to the new ULTRA 5 on the biggest stages to gain the extra edge.

Buckle up because PUMA are pushing the ULTRA 5 into another gear giving you the speed and sensation of a finely tuned machine at your feet. Built on years of engineering insights from PUMA Motorsport, the brand-new SPEEDSYSTEM outsole and FastTrax stud design are precision-engineered to take you from kick-off to back-of-the-net faster than you can say: lights out. 

The new ULTRA 5 ULTIMATE Formula edition kicks into high gear with PUMA’s SPEEDSYSTEM outsole, featuring a springy plate and an innovative stud setup for lightning-fast acceleration. Sprint, cut, and brake faster with FastTrax stud design for multidirectional traction and for ultimate stability the ULTRA 5 utilizes an all-new PWRTAPE SQD support frame to stabilize the foot inside of the boot without hindering agility and freedom of movement.

ultra coman

Speaking on the ULTRA 5 Dominique Gathier, Senior Director Product Line Manager Teamsport Footwear said “Following the incredible success of the ULTRA 5 CARBON Launch Edition we have today unveiled two editions of the ULTRA 5 – the ULTIMATE and CARBON versions. Both utilize an all-new stud configuration that help you to explode and brake faster than ever because the modern game needs rapid speed over short and long distance, but also in all directions. The FastTrax stud integrates key design insights from academic research and traction studies to provide more traction while accelerating, cutting and breaking.”

Dominque continued “The new SPEEDSYSTEM is PUMA’s proprietary outsole design that combines a high-performance fiber base material with an external heel counter and a revolutionary stud system to maximize energy return for faster acceleration. The three studs on the heel improve braking, this is because there is a higher traction when rear studs are closer to the centerline.”

Romain Girard, Senior Director Innovation delved into the full carbon outsole and what this means for the new ULTRA 5.

 “The major difference you will see across both editions is the CARBON version features a full carbon plate making it the fastest version of our fastest boots. The SPEEDSYSTEM outsole on ULTRA 5 CARBON is made of full carbon fiber, making it 32% springier than the non-carbon version allowing you to change direction in an instant and explode in any direction before the defender can react for an unmatched speed machine.”

“PUMA has a history of utilizing carbon in our football boots, but for the new ULTRA 5 we have evolved the way we use the material and implemented it in a new way. Taking inspiration from our collaborations in motorsport, carbon is one of the most explosive and lightweight materials, used in many of the fastest cars in the world due to its incredible lightweight, speed properties. What is unique about our application is we have changed the weave pattern and direction of the fibers to create a unique application of the material that provides an even faster soleplate.”

PUMA continues to offer its Women’s Fit with a slimmer fit tailored to the anatomy of a woman’s foot, the ULTRA 5 is designed to enhance comfort and performance for female athletes, built different to support the women that make a difference on the pitch. The ULTRA 5 Women’s Fit combines the latest ULTRA tech, such as SPEEDSYSTEM outsole and FastTrax stud design, with a bespoke fit designed specifically for a woman's foot.

Fuel your Fast with the ULTRA 5 CARBON available from the 28th June at PUMA.com, at PUMA stores and specialist sports retailers. The ULTRA 5 ULTIMATE will be available on pre-sale from the 8th July at PUMA.com, at PUMA stores and specialist sports retailers with the global release from the 18th July.
